Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“Randy Nash was professional and personable. He took care of our needs with kindness and compassion. Everything was well planned out and he walked us through the process. We had no stress or worries about anything. We would highly recommend Sumner Funeral and Cremation.”
— Rebecca Clutts
“I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Sumner Funeral Home during the preplanned funeral and subsequent arrangements for my mother. From the moment I made that first phone call, they seamlessly took care of everything, even considering the complications of handling affairs out of state. Joy and Randy were outstanding, guiding me through the requirements for a natural burial at Larkspur Conservation. I also very much appreciate their level of communication, keeping me informed at every step and alleviating the stress of the process. Most importantly, their treatment of my mother's remains was marked by profound respect and compassion. Sumner Funeral Home exceeded my expectations in every aspect, and I am immensely thankful for their professionalism during this challenging time.”
— Lisa Fulton
“I had the privilege of working with Randy Nash and Nathaniel Holman for several years whenever I was in the industry. I never dreamed one day that they would be taking care of our family as we said goodbye to our youngest son. Words like kind, caring, compassionate, and professional, all seem to fall short of the experience we received. They went above and beyond for us. Their dedication through the planning process, the service itself, and the days that followed gave us the ability to stand easier with a huge burden lifted. I’m very proud of the business they have built and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need.”
